Champaign, OH: Positively 4th Street
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes…
(Positively 4th Street-Bob Dylan)
For no other reason, today, except that I think these lyrics are beautiful, and I am in a Dylan kind of way, this morning…
Go ahead…spin some Dylan, and thank me, always for setting the tone of your day.
It’s Tuesday, it’s sunny, and it’s going to be a warm 52 degrees!! Perfectly inspiring for ordering from this perfectly inspired little local market of love!!
Oh, and you know…it’s climbing to be quite a market, this week! You don’t want to miss out on all of this positive vibing local goodness…we are open until tomorrow at 8am. Don’t linger, and don’t forget…
Another fun tidbit about the song that I chose for you, today? It’s the song that I put on replay, endless amounts of play, when I am on the cusp of making business decisions. And, the Jerry Garcia version is the one that I listened to, constantly, on the night that I put Cosmic Charlie into action, 9 seasons ago. What’s the song that sends you into action? We all have a song…
Okay! Groove it out…get your orders ready!
And…on a follow up to the chipmunk adventure of yesterday. The little intruder had trapped himself into my powder room trash can, must of scared himself into a sad farewell, and was then disposed of in the fields…so long…
Now…let’s get this Tuesday underway…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Spa City Local Farm Market Co-op: Reminder
Don’t forget to place your co-op order before tomorrow, Tuesday at 9pm. Also, any orders for ANP vegetables need to be placed before 9pm this evening.
There’s lots of great foods from local farmers waiting for you.
Siloam Springs, AR: Produce is back! Check Out the Online Market
www.siloamsprings.locallygrown.net
This week we have cabbage, 2 types of lettuce, and 2 types of kale, along with sorrel (in the herb category), and microgreens.
We begin farm visits this week and couldn’t be more excited to get out and visit all of our farmers and potential new farmers. Before you know it, April 14th will be here and the outdoor market will return. We will be set up in the same location this year in City Park. The only exception will be Dogwood Festival weekend and we will set up in the Arvest Bank parking lot downtown.
Just a reminder that we now accept credit/debit cards as payment online when you place your order. The payments however will not process until after your order is picked up just in case part of your order is not delivered or you need to make a change. We hope that will ensure that you are only being charged for what you actually pick up. It’s a rare occasion that a farmer can’t deliver and is usually weather related when that happens.
Thank you for buying local!
See you Saturday!

Champaign, OH: Monday Drag
That’s it…the feeling you get as you begin to wake up, and remember that you are not slowly waking up on a lazy Sunday. You are crash waking, right into a full blown Monday.
Make the transition a bit easier by vowing to take a few minutes to place an order with us! All of your local goods, in one place, with simple clicks of the keys!
I’m sitting here, coffee in one hand, my hair a mess, a million things on my Monday list of musts, and a chipmunk trapped in my lovely little powder room.
But, what am I going to do? Order. I know my week, at a glance, and once again, it’s a bit crazy. To make it less crazy, I need to simplify by getting some food ordered!!
Follow my lead…and please, throw me some tips on getting the chipmunk out of my life, and powder room…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Market News
Isn’t this weather wonderful? I spent some quality time out in the garden today, and was happy to see so many flowers in the strawberry patch. If mine are blooming, that means our growers ought to be harvesting theirs any time now. And that means the asparagus ought to be starting to come up about now, too!
I don’t have any news to share this week, so I’ll let you get right to ordering. Thank you so much for your support of Athens Locally Grown, all of our growers, local food, and our rights to eat it. You all are part of what makes Athens such a great area in which to live. We’ll see you on Thursday at Ben’s Bikes at the corner of Pope and Broad Streets from 4:30 to 8pm!

Hello!
Happy Spring! It has sure been nice getting some time with the sun after the extr-ordinary amount of rain! The fields are still quite saturated and getting the early crops in the ground will be a bit delayed this spring for sure!
We are taking this week, March 4th, off of deliveries. Turns out there is quite a bit of catch up to do and vehicles to repair, and we are hoping some time off now will allow us to enter into the coming spring (and strawberry!) season with all our ducks in a row!
We apologize for any disappointment and inconvenience! We will miss seeing your smiling faces, and so appreciate all your patience and support!
Thanks you and we will see you soon!
John and Tally
